Outside Grounds

Within the chateau grounds is a large private garden with ancient cedars and a 12x6m swimming pool to the south (open approximately May to end-September), and a high-fenced hard tennis court to the rear. The terrace lends itself to outdoor dining in the summer, and the garden is ideal for entertaining on a larger scale. The grounds are extensive and mainly set over arable land, but woodland walks and beautiful views over the Seoune valley are all available. The property has care-takers living on site in a separate building in the grounds, however, your privacy is assured.

In 2018, the old stables situated opposite the chateau will be available for guests use. This beautifully restored stone building has archways offering marvellous views over the grounds and the chateau. There are also two charcoal barbecues for you to enjoy the summer.
